Seven Lives of Nemirovich-Danchenko12+
Story
Performance-concert in two parts.
A literary and musical composition dedicated to the life and fate of one of the founders of the Art Theater was staged by his grandson Vasily Nemirovich-Danchenko and his wife, an assistant professor of piano at the Moscow State University of Music, Angelika Nemirovich-Danchenko.
The real facts of the biography of Vladimir Ivanovich Nemirovich-Danchenko were recreated on the basis of the letters of Vladimir Ivanovich himself, Konstantin Sergeyevich Stanislavsky, Anton Pavlovich Chekhov and Maxim Gorky, as well as unique documents that until recently were not known to the general public.
Directing: Evgenia Kemarskaya and Rosa Sirota
Review
Legendary creator of the Art Theater ... But in the life of Vladimir Ivanovich Nemirovich-Danchenko there was so much more interesting!
Friendship and fruitful work together with Konstantin Stanislavsky. What were they arguing about? We know that there were disagreements. But could the relationship have reached enmity?
Mutual relations with the Soviet power. Nemirovich-Danchenko was far from simply keeping his theater in difficult post-revolutionary years.
Production of the best plays by A.P. Chekhov and other classics on the stage of the grand theater. Great pedagogical work.
As a teacher Nemirovich-Danchenko brought up many great directors and actors of the twentieth century, including Vsevolod Meirhold, Olga Leonardovna Knipper-Chekhova, Ivan Mikhailovich Moskvin.
Fruitful work in the US, in Hollywood in the 1930s. Meetings with Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford. The publication in America of a wonderful book about the Russian theater.
And a lot of music ... Nemirovich-Danchenko reformed in Moscow, not only the drama theater, but also the musical. Sergei Rakhmaninov and Fedor Shalyapin were his close friends.
From a letter to VI. Nemirovich-Danchenko: "It seems to me that I live a fifth or sixth life, not counting my childhood."

“ Very interesting performance, telling about the creators of the drama theater and the musical. The man who put the magnificent Three Sisters. Working on world stages of the world. A magnificent, talented person, the pride of his time, fundamental for the development of the future. The play is conducted by his grandson (no less talented person) with his wife. The story is amazing. PS It's a shame that people go to mediocre musicals, not saluting the people who opened the stage and given the opportunity to think and develop with you.
